Battlestar Galactica got back on track Friday night with a kick-ass episode that moved so quickly it felt like four or five episodes packed into one.
Is Boomer dead? Say it ain’t so! In a shocking Ruby-shoots-Oswald type scene, that little specialist girl who has a crush on the Chief gives it to Boomer in the gut. The Chief kneels, holding Boomer’s dying body, all this mere minutes after Boomer saved the Chief’s life by giving up her fellow cylons.
The conniving doctor is being played like a fiddle by No. 6. And so Adamaa’s whisky-snorting #2, you know, the guy with Lady MacBeth for a girlfriend.
Over on Caprica, Starbuck and her buddy hook up with a gang of humans who have survived nuclear holocaust to keep fighting the Toasters. Starbuck got involved in a sexy game of pyramid or something – couldn’t tell how you played the game, but she she got close to the cute gang leader.
Meantime, Madame President has been spirited off into hiding. And right into the hands of the actor who played the original Starbuck in the original Battlestart TV series.
Battlestar is back!
